Warner Bros. Home Entertainment have released the official details on the upcoming home release of Shazam!. The movie, which was directed by David F. Sandberg and stars Zachary Levi, Mark Srong, and Asher Angel, was one of the best-received movies DC has made in years. Set in the DC movie universe but featuring a totally different look and tone than anything that has come before it, Shazam! taps into the childlike wonder of the original source material and the creepy horror elements that inform the Seven Deadly Sins (particularly as envisioned by the director of Annabelle).

You can check out the official synopsis and special features breakdown below.
We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Asher Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult superhero Shazam (Zachary Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong).
